South Queensferry
The reconfiguration and extension of a family home in South Queensferry was needed in order to increase floor space and improve spaces. A single storey minimal dual pitched black extension to the rear hosts a new kitchen and dining space with large folding sliding doors directly on to the garden. Internally at ground floor the[…]
Newington
Our clients for this project came to us to help them improve their existing stone terraced family home in the Southside of Edinburgh. A new kitchen and dining space and zinc clad extension to the rear opens up to the garden, improving the flow of the spaces.

A lower stone villa in Edinburgh’s Prestonfield suburb was in need of remodelling for a family.

I worked under another architect to change it from a bingo hall to a church. 10 years later under my own steam, I[…]
Family Extension Corstorphine
Stone semi-detached villa, not listed but of the same quality. The client requested that the new addition to the side should sit below the existing eaves and also sit comfortably beside the original house, while being two storeys and a new main entrance. That ticks a lot of boxes at the Planning Department but makes[…]
